looks fine. the cpu will be slightly weaker than the gpu is some cases, but it will perform fairly solid for 1080p gaming. you might even be able to throw in a cheap/small ssd for Intel SRT if that board supports it. Also consider going with a WD Blue instead of the barracuda (from my own experience).

I like Seagate from my own experience, also have used WD drives before. I wouldn't go MSI as I've had a DOA board they won't replace or refund even though it's in warranty, but I don't think you'll be fine with it. :)

I'm joining the revolution... Finally decided to get some ssd, but I run into some questions trying to set it up. I have two Intel 730 and I'm trying to put them on raid 0. First problem the drivers, RSTe or IRST, wich is more compatible with raid 0 configuration. Second, strip size should I go for 64kb or 128kb

where's Windows? Not gunna get a whole lot of gaming done without that... Also add a cheap SSD if you have the money for it. You will not regret the faster boot-up times

One day I will have my GTX 970. One day. PC specs are at my profile.

Not sure how to check what part works with what? Check out my compatibility guide!
